Think about this. There was Mary Tyler Moore as the 'star' and the continuing supporting cast included Ed Asner, Gavin MacLeod, Ted Knight, Cloris Leachman, Valerie Harper, and the late addition of Betty White. And every one of those SIX supporting characters went on to headline or equal co-star in a future TV series each of which lasted at least 2 years, usually more. Name me one other show that had such a large AND strong supporting cast that were considered able to carry their own shows...and did! Yes MASH, Seinfeld and Friends were all great comedies, but none had as many successful spin-offs, or that kind of supporting cast on their own to accomplish such a feat. (spin-offs: Asner -Lou Grant (5 years), Harper-Rhoda(4+ years), Leachman-Phyllis (2 years); non spin-offs: MacLeod-Love Boat (10 years), White-Golden Girls (7 years)& Hot in Cleveland(5 years), Knight-Too Close for Comfort (3 years)). Not only were they all talented, but the MTM production staff was able to find them and make excellent use of all of them
And Georgia Engle also went on to appear in Everybody Loves Raymond and Hot in Cleveland. 😊 its 2021 and I just binge watched The Mary Tyler Moore show. I love Mary, all the characters, and their respective shows. 😊
A lot of that had to do with MTM herself. She was the first star of a major show to give the best lines to her supporting characters. It subverted the patriarchal TV norm of the time and changed tv forever!
Wouldn't call Friends a great comedy, it's so overrated. But, the only other shows that I can think of that had a supporting cast so strong that they went on to carry their own shows that at least went 2 years or more were The Steve Harvey Show and Taxi which even had a few that went beyond television and would become movie stars like Danny Devito and Christopher Lloyd.
@@nadi1010 Well, actually Andy Griffith was one of the first to do it with his show in the 60's, but yes; Mary, Andy, Jerry Seinfeld and a few others were so unique as leads with their own shows and names as the title that were perfectly happy to play straight to everyone else and it payed off spectacularly for all of them. Heck, Jerry co wrote for the show for a lot of episodes and in the first one he wrote a producer told him "You know, Jerry the show is called Seinfeld, you can put yourself in it." Lol! He so enjoyed writing for his co stars that he completely forgot to give himself any lines. Since when does that happen?
@@kendallrivers1119 I mean, none of Andy dick’s supporting cast were strong enough as sidekicks to merit their own shows tho.
The bit with the guy speaking Old Man River is brilliant.
Try listening to the song in the original YIDDISH.
Man I so miss this time period.
Used to be one of America's best cities. Liberals have turned into a total disaster.
RIP to the Mary Tyler Moore show cast. They are all gone now but certainly not forgotten. It is hard to imagine this show ever being topped.
MASH has.
John Amos is still around,
Joyce is the last survivor. She had a minor recurring role as Murray's wife.
@@GregWatson-wb8yd Geezis, why? Let it go.
You can tell this cast really loved each other.
No. Cast was underpaid.
RIP Ted Knight, Mary Tyler Moore & Georgia Engel. Thanks for all the laughs.
Georgia's gone now too?
@@pattimuse1 The only original cast member still alive is Ed Asner. Betty White, Joyce Bullifant, and John Amos are also still alive. Pretty much everyone else on the show is gone now.
@@ochsj1971 rip Ed asner
I used to get such a “warm fuzzy” feeling watching this show every week. I felt as if these were my friends I was inviting into my living room. The writing, acting and directing was just so good.
Me too, El.
I think all of them have passed on now except for Betty White.
They will always be missed. Hard to grasp sometimes.
I love this show so much, they all had a true camaraderie in real life, I feel and it showed.
Yes. That's the sign of a classic show!
And now Betty is gone too. I thought she would outlive us all...
Same here. I have such affection for this show and these characters.
It was great, smart
I watched this lovely lady's show every Saturday night after Lawrence Welk and Hee Haw. I stayed with my grandparents most weekends because my mom and dad had a catering business and were usually doing weddings. My sweet dad was a lawyer during the week and a glorified waiter on the weekends. I couldn't have asked for a better childhood. RIP to all those wonderful talented people who brought such happiness. You made it after all!
What a cast, what a show. Miss those days!
Those actors were SO blessed. A work place like that is very very rare. It also paid great; and it allowed for Ed, Gavin, Betty and Valerie to have their own shows. They really hit the jackpot in life.
And Ted: "Too Close For Comfort."B.W.
And Cloris-Phyllis
@@peterherman4310 Phyllis, Phyllis it sure isn't you.....
RIP to them all.
Mary you made it after all. Thanks for all the laughter. RIP Mary.
“You’re gonna make it after all!”
Well said
this comment made my heart hurt but in a good way :/
Ted Knight was a natural-born comedian. His comedic timing on gags & punchlines were great, with the subtle pauses, mannerisms & facial expressions. Early in his show business career, he started out as a ventriloquist, much the same as a young Don Knotts did. Maybe that's why he understood comedy so well, working twice as hard for 2 people, the straight-man & his wooden Muse.....
I didn't know that about either of them! Geniuses.
You Were So Right About Ted Knight, He Was A Great Comedian.
I think Ted KNight was the funniest part of Caddyshack out othe 4 main guys
@@tombasye1016 As an unfortunate consequence of being such a good actor in this role, many believed he actually was dumb.
That version of Old Man River by Stan Daniels is one of the funniest things I have ever seen. And he was a fellow Torontonian! So funny! The work they did 50 years ago is still perfect.
I don’t know how many times I watched him, and each time I almost died laughing.
This was television at its best. Mary was rightfully America’s Sweetheart. That’s one of the reasons her portrayal in Ordinary People was so shocking; no one expected her to exhibit such rage.
She was one of the most unlikeable screen moms I ever saw. Twice as shocking when it's Mary playing the part. Thought she'd get an Oscar.
That why I dislike when people think they need to change their image somehow. Like she was Americas sweetheart, a good thing, and she does something to try to prove she can do something else. I like them to stay nice. Like Julie Andrews, who wanted to change her image from squeaky, clean to some thing sort of nasty. But that’s the world for you.
@@jayniekinser7029 Your outlook is a little…..constipated. People in every line of work, including acting, like to branch out and stretch themselves.
I loved this show sooooooo much. I still watch rruns today all these years later and it's still like watching for first time.....this group were awesome. I cried when Mary passed. It was like losing a friend....
I know I did too !!
Believe it or not same here, just hoping I don't hear anything about Carol Burnett for quite awhile yet they were my Saturday evenings.
One of the best & most favorite shows ever. The whole cast was terrific!
Beth I think this was Gavin Macleod’s best role. He was also great in the movie, ( a far cry from Murray 😂)’
Kelly’s Heroes’ with Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas,
Donald Sutherland, Don
Rickles, and Carrol O’Connor. Great Movie.
1970! 51 years ago! Back in that year, old timers were talking about 1920 half a century ago. I am feeling old since I myself am a baby boomer at age 65. And I am old enough to remember NYC back in the 1960s when a new subway train or bus came around it was the talk of the neighborhood! Nowadays I don't know what the youth of today would say if they saw a new subway train or bus came around. As an old New Yorker I thank you for any comment on this TV series or the time period when I grew up. By the way my eldest cousin wore her hair like Mary Tyler Moore did on the first episodes of that series, she was a fan of hers as a teen at that time.
me, same.
I love it! Mary laughs louder and more than any of them. Really nice to see that in Mary. They had a ball didn't they?
Such incredible talent! And a strong voice for the animals for so many years. You are greatly missed, MTM. RIP.
She was such a wonderful woman,I loved her,Rest in Peace Mary.
Growing up in the 70s and having shows like this, where a beautiful sexy, charming, lovely character such as Mary existed was a pretty nice place to be, yes I loved All in the family, and Columbo and Cannon, Barnaby Jones, but Mary was special
that was the era of amazing, classy TV shows that were really funny!
This is before political correctness ruined everything
@@mannyistheman2221 We forget so easily. Back then, the censors worked overtime. You wouldn't BELIEVE the number of forbidden words and topics that they avoided, back then. Political correctness is the same kind of thing, only the things that are forbidden by the new breed of Puritans are different than the things forbidden by the old Puritans. Media and entertainment have always catered to the most likely to be offended, while the rest of us just kind of had to take it, and get our laughs where we could from watered-down entertainment.
Looking back, one always yearns for good old days that didn't exist.
The painful thing about the current days is mainly due to people having a voice to say "You're a repressed asshole," because we are no longer dominated by 3 t.v. networks and a handful of newspapers and magazines. They were much better at controlling the narrative, 30 or 40 years ago, and the sheeple were happily asleep in their day-to-day.

I loved Cannon ... and I loved The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
70s TV ... loved it
@@harrymills2770 I have to agree. Media censorship actually started by a Reverend from Missouri Donald Wildmon who formed the American Family Association which still exists today. Back in those days it was the religious right, but I am alarmed to see the left adopting cancel culture. The American Family Association boycotted Sears endorsement of All In The Family, Charlie's Angels, and Three's Company and tried to get ABC to take them off the air. They succeeded with Sears pulling sponsorship. They tried the same thing with Married With Children. They felt that more religious programming should be on television, so they lobbied Reagan's FCC to repeal the Fairness Doctrine which gave to the rise of televangelists in the 80's. Ownership deregulation and the media monopoly has made the problem much worse, because now instead of independent affiliates you have one corporation that control the entire network. That was Bill Clinton who lifted ownership rules and allowed cable companies to buy up our over the air networks. I'm making a documentary about this. It's really fascinating stuff.
James Brooks had the greatest gifts of having the best ensemble casts. MTM, Bob Newhart, Taxi and Cheers.
And don't forget The Simpsons
Probably not a coincidence ... I'm sure he influenced the casting. If so, they are a credit to him and weren't 'gifts' given to him.
Brooks had nothing to do with Cheers. That was all Jimmy Burrows and Glen and Les Charles.
Yet MASH topped them all
The chemistry these actors/actresses had is undeniable.
Stan Daniels’ rendition of ‘Old Man River’ is sublime comic gold, worthy of far greater exposure.
Mary was lovely. Who today can compare?
She played a saloon girl in ‘Wanted Dead or Alive’ with Steve McQueen. Very chatty, imagine that. Always loved the beginning of the show with the Mustang.
Such a wonderful, funny show! You can tell these people truly loved coming to work! ♡
Ted was my favorite character on that show. He was brilliant.
So cool, grew up with MTM , nice to go backstage .
even the bloopers were brilliant!! That's talent.
I was fortunate to work with Ed on what would have been one of his last movies, and as a a sound recordist I got to hear wonderful stuff from him in between takes, which although not professional to do after cut is called, I wish I'd recorded him! Very funny man!
She sure could brighten the world up with her smile ❤
Ed Asner was a class act. Hell, they all were.
The Yiddish Old Man River was priceless, thank you.
I've been in love with Mary since the mid 60's and I'm not quite 60 yet. That smile and those damned eyes, and those gams.
You're a victim of marketing. Valerie Harper was gorgeous. MTM wasn't pretty at all. She was talented.
"Tits? When am I gonna grow tits?" LOL, words you don't expect to hear out of MTM's mouth. Love these bloopers. Still very sad over her passing, I've been immersing myself in the MTM show the last week or so.
Mochrie99 that totally shocked me when she said that and I truly laughed out loud. Rest in peace, funny lady
You should try to find some bloopers from Julie Andrews on TV during the late 60s early 70s. She says "fuck" a couple of times.
00:27
Quoting Val in "A Chorus Line" of course
Beautiful.
You will be missed for a very long time, Mary. R.I.P.
I loved watching this show when I was growing up ! Mary was so beautiful ! The whole cast was so talented.
A few months ago I watched a documentary on Bette White. I had never even heard of TMTMS before, so I decided to watch it for Bette. I fell in love with the whole cast! Especially Mary!! I binged the whole series in a month! Best sitcom, hands down! (and I watch a lot of tv). Every show made me laugh, some until I was crying! I just loved Mary and Rhoda’s friendship! ❤️❤️
I’m going to Minneapolis in April, will make sure to visit her statue!
R.I.P. to all of those who have passed on, but I know they’re making the angels crack up!
Welcome to the family.
I saw several episodes filmed. Actors were great between scenes and answered questions from the audience.
The best show ever (IMO), this is where great ensemble casting started...
I Love Lucy wasn't too shabby in the ensemble acting category either.
Agreed.
Well you did have I Love Lucy, The Honeymooners and The Andy Griffith Show before this soooo lol
Ted Knight was so completely adorable, omg....love him.
I was a little kid when this show was on, and I watched it almost religiously. Great ensemble cast. Betty White was awesome. Ted Knight was one of the funniest people EVER. The final episode was a huge tear-jerker.
There's a part of the final scene that had been done before on another show, though under different circumstances. Namely the Dick Van Dyke show, and I have always wondered if Mary remembered that and slipped it into that scene.
The shuffle for kleenex was brilliant!
IMMORTAL!! Show & cast will live forever in our hearts!🌟🌟👍👍
I was a teenager when this show was on. Where have all the years gone ?
They flew by. I was a teenager too. (Jan Griffiths).
Me too.
Me Three!!!
Ted Knight had the best giggle on TV.
Can you imagine being at one of these tapings? Life changing!
Who can turn the world on with her smile? Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile? Well it’s you girl, and you should know it With each glance and every little movement you show it Love is all around, no need to waste it You can have a town, why don’t you take it You’re gonna make it after all You’re gonna make it after all How will you make it on your own? This world is awfully big, girl this time you’re all alone But it’s time you started living It’s time you let someone else do some giving Love is all around, no need to waste it You can have a town, why don’t you take it You’re gonna make it after all You’re gonna make it after all
Massa Sofrida I just sang it in my head and smiled! Thank you!
Thanks
Best song ever!
The very first season in 1970 they had a different melody key and different lyrics. And then this terrific saxophone performance on the outro!B.W.
Meowwww ;D
Watching these videos it occurs to me that every man on that set must have been love with Mary. She had it all! She was beautiful, had a world class smile, obviously a tremendous sense of humor and seemed to be very sweet. How could any guy not fall for her?
I had never seen these bloopers before! Thanks so much for posting them!
No matter how funny a sitcom is, the funniest stuff happens at the taping.
OMG THE YIDDISH OLD MAN RIVER IS JUST AMAZING..
That was the best part.
I want a youtube video of just that!
No more comedians like that.
Just discovered this in on a DVD I own this year. It is GOLD! It is on youtube.
Read my remark above. It was CLASSIC
It's so weird how as a boy of 10 I hated Ted Baxter. Now he's the funniest part of the show. I also didn't like Betty White's character when I was a kid, but now I think she's great.
You know, Betty White was offered the role of Blanche on The Golden Girls because of that role. But it was because she had already played that type of role that she wanted to audition for Rose.
@@tonsilsthecat3430 I despised the Golden Girls
Thats funny. I grew up with all of these shows on Nick at night. Loved them all. Green Acres, I Love Lucy, Dick Van Dike Show, on and on.
I always loved Ted he was such a character. I see him in Joeys character in Friends.
Yea Betty White stole every scene on this show when she was on. I'll always be a Georgette guy tho.
Truly the funniest blooper comp. I've ever seen, and what a classy cast! Never to be equaled...
Betty White had a tendency to steal every scene she was in on this show, and considering the talent around her, that's a remarkable feat.
they're all making the angels laugh now 🧡
The first sitcom i remember that was both smart and funny.
Love to see bloopers from the CHUCKLES THE CLOWN EPISODE
Wendy Burke “A little song, a little dance; a little seltzer down your pants.” Chuckles the Clown’s credo
@@elkabong6429 x1
love "old man river" recitation
I was in High School when these wonderful shows aired. Seems like yesterday. The last episode was classic.
Yes. That was brilliant
Mary had the best laugh.
Jameelia Moonrise 💛
One of the great shows ever! Just thinking- of the survivors, they're really old... Ed Asner (90) Betty White (99), Gavin McCloud (90), Cloris Leachman (93)! Interesting.
Macleod...Scots spelling.
John Amos 80
Cloris Leachman unfortunately passed away today.
@@sharirusk5404 :(
... and we've since lost Ed Asner and Gavin McLeod. Thank God for Betty White!
I remember the time Lou had to host a party at his house and asked Mary to come over and help him set everything up. Mary came over and found the place in a complete shambles and told Lou to get 6 or 7 glasses together to serve drinks while she tried to clean up the place. Lou came out of the kitchen with a jar of jelly and said he didn't think he could eat that much jelly as he was going to use the jelly jar as a glass LOL.

I am happy to see the reruns of the MTM show on TV. It brings back old memories.
I remember when my father,who was in TV and local radio news, sat in his wingback chair watching this show and screaming in laughter at pitches far higher in pitch than what seemed humanly possible, as he watched the antics of Ted Knight's golden-voiced, silver tongued boob of an anchorman, and he'd remark liking "Lou Grant", but that he knew some people in real life who reminded him of "Ted Baxter." Hard to believe most if not all of that cast is gone now.
What a great show and cast! Hilarious bloopers.
RIP Gavin MacLeod. You are now reunited with Ted and Mary. Now you poke fun a Ted again and all his news goofs
1970's was the last good decade for Saturday night T.V. This show and Bob Newhart were terrific. M.
two of my favorites
Last good??? THE only good.
@Jim McCracken I think it lasted more than one season, but that was the best line up of comedy on tv EVER!
@@kimberleyasselin8614 jo
Grace and Frankie is the BEST comedy on TV. and, after that, Hot In Cleveland. They are both current, up to date and funny as hell.
Unbelievable how everyone from Mary to everyone of her supporting cast members belong in the tv comedy hall of fame.
Like watching great baseball team!
Mary's character was so nice, polite, to everyone, even to the point of making her uncomfortable. I have to believe that's how she was in real life. Read People's mag about her last days, she was such a lady of dignity.
Most who knew her said she was like the character in real life but with an edge and sometimes aloof and distant! In other words she was a well rounded complex person like all of us!
Yes. Painful
@@tentcater4710 yes. Business all day.

Good Show! Ted Knight was hilarious....I feel like part of my childhood died with Mary😞

Great show!!! Betty White was great as Sue Ann also, and she's still with us.
Me too
Christopher Miller
Many of us kids at heart did as well.
My favorites of these bloopers are: when Lou dumped the drink on his former girl friend, when Sue Ann got the seat on top of the cake, and the group hug!
Pat Hough
One of my favorite scenes is when Johnny Carson made an appearance, the lights are out, and Johnny says "Mary, your dog is licking me", then you hear Sue Ann's throaty laugh.
Pat Hough The three examples you mentioned are NOT bloopers.
Mary Tyler Moore, Ted Knight, Edward Asner...
... gave me the most fun times I've ever had!
Noble contribution.
Edit: Betty White, too! Gavin McCloud. :)
Gavin MacLeod was ok, too. "Ol' Sixth Fiddle"
And alot of them went on to have their own popular shows.
" Miss those days "
Gavin MacLeod was great as Murray
He was excellent. It was weird to see him as a bank robber in Andy Griffith Show.
Ted Knight as a young actor, was working on a radio production of Abe Lincoln in Illinois starring Raymond Massy. During the scene where Lincoln was leaving on a train to go to Washington, all the crowd was saying their goodbyes and Ted called out “Goodbye Mr Massey”.
MTM was very beautiful. RIP
As well Ted Knight🙁. And that's the News. I.m Ted Baxter signing off
@@revertinotse8582 Good night and good news!
Yidish old man river killed me man.
I was a copy boy in the newsroom where Mary's aunt was in management and the writers came to do research. We watched every week and laughed, and laughed like our newsroom was anywhere near that funny.
Everyone associated with the show were freakin AWESOME
Brings back memories that was a good show my mum loved it
MTM was one of the best sitcoms ever written. It is forever my "comfort food."
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
one of the best shows ever on tv
Will always miss Mary.
This world of ours is losing so many talented people so early to diabetes. We need the medical researchers to find a cure. RIP Mary, we love you.
For that birthday cake scene, I'm sure Gavin was strictly told to get it right on the first take because there was probably only one cake and they would run into overtime if Betty had to change clothes and the crew had to clean up the set.
Agreed - I was struck by how carefully he was working to place her on the cake!
Ted Knight was soooooooooooo funny.....RIP Ted and Mary......
What a great cast, that was great TV. Now what do we have? The Bachelorette, Big Brother, and so on.
And now Georgia and Valerie as well.😔B.W.
He was Dobry, Which means "Good" in Ted's & My ancestory language....
@Berry Harbour Who? TK wasn't in Mission Impossible.
Until I saw this I didn't know he was such an improviser
"talkkng" Old Man River????!!! Are you kidding me???? Hysterical!!!
Mary Tyler Moore - the queen of television! She was on two of the greatest (and most beloved) sitcoms in TV history. First, The Dick Van Dyke Show and later, the star of The Mary Tyler Moore Show (the greatest sitcom of all time IMHO). And she was so gorgeous and lovable!
The story goes that they originally wanted Mary to be a divorcee not just a broken engagement....but CBS was legitimately concerned that viewers would think that she left Rob Petrie.
Well that was just about wonderful, wasn’t it. Kinda got me right there, at the end.
We knew watching it back then, perhaps instinctively, how wonderful the show was.
Something like that comes around but a few times a lifetime.
RIP Mary:(

Never seen these outtakes. I want more Yiddish Old Man River!
Old Man River---- l can never listen to that song again without breaking up.
You need to check out Stan Freberg's "Elderly Man River" -- a classic unto itself! :-)
Thank you snickpickle I will check that out!
@@jacquelynwilliams3660 Stan predicted PC in 1957. He must have seen it coming somehow...
Gavin Macloed's daughters went to my school in the San Fernando Valley in Middle School during the late 70s.. They were very sweet and occasionally I'd see Gavin's brown Rolls Royce in our parking lot when we had a choir performance, which we were all in. In the late 80s, as a young actor, I appeared on the last episode of Valeries Family with Valerie Harper, of Rhoda fame. It was very cool being on shows that I watched and loved as a kid!
Good for you!
And thank you for sharing.
The extra at the first desk is loving the bloopers. He was a lucky guy to have witnessed these treasures.
Just a reminder in this COVID-19 craziness... Ted Knight was amazing.
Great show, loved Mary
What a great cast!
It’s hilarious at the 8:50 mark... the Yiddish version of Old Man River.
The only tv I watch are outtakes from classic shows. Amazing how many good shows and writers there were. Thanks CZcams.
LOU GRANT Had his show later. it was fantastic
I’m 64 and recall how genuine the actors interacted with each other. What a great show and all round perfect casting and real people. 😎
Ted Knights screw ups are so damn funny I could not stop laughing.
My all time favorite show. RIP Ed Asner. ❤️💔❤️
My god i had a crush on mary , i was just a teenager but she was hot and a beautiful inside as well
